Yeah, this is the latest lens I purchased (although I think it is f4-5.6), got any specific questions about it? I haven't used any other ultra wide angle lenses so can't really compare it with any, but I've been happy with it and really enjoy 10mm. Just need to be carefull with focusing at the tigheter aperture and wide focal length, but the lens has performed well for me. Here is a photo with it at 10mm.

Oh nice, good to hear you like it. Read a fair few reviews and the group on flickr is huge! Will be the first "aftermarket" lens i have used. Yeah i think your right on the fstop, i couldnt remember off the top of my head. Also gunna grab the 50mm 1.8 which ive used on my mates 550 and enjoyed. I'm not huge into it yet so i think any L series glass would be a loooong way off for me Has anyone got one though and wanna share some pics?

ive just got the std 18-55mm one that came with it and i find it a bit too slow to focus on things

is thee somethign else i can get to improve my photography

my friend has the 55-200 zoom lense for it so dont need that one

im more lookign for a good wide angled lense i guess

cheers

Definately get the nikon 50mm... think its a little over $100 but have heard its like the canon one, a must have. Can get the lens i have (sigma 10-20) for nikon as well if you want a wide angle... otherwise theres the 17-70(? ish) lenses made by nikon, sigma and tamron that may be worth looking into....

OMG this lens is a killer. The bokeh created on this lens is amazing... and wide open on F/2.0... it's damn sharp.

I want this one and the 100mm F/2.8 macro now.... hahah. I'll try post the comparison between the 135L, 50mm 1.8 and my 24-70L. 135L... is the winner... even with tripod, you can't beat the sharpness on the 135L

Went and got a tamron 70 - 300 f4 - 5.6 macro lens. Havent had too much of a play yet but it seems alright for the price. Definately not up in canon L series range though, and its not "true" macro (but at close to 1/10th the price of the canon i cant complain!)

Has been a lot of talk about the Sigma 10-20mm, I have been looking for a super-wide to take overseas with me for some landscape shooting. After a fair bit of reading I decided on the Tokina 11-16 f/2.8, and after a couple of days with it I'm impressed! Quality build and a great lens so far. Can post pictures if anyone is interested.

Also upgraded my Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 to the Nikon 17-55 f/2.8, talk about weight difference! The Nikon lens is a tank!

And a question...

Does anybody have/use a Nikon 80-200 f/2.8? What are they like? Thinking of getting one, but can't make up my mind, and seems like a good alternative to the much more expensive 70-200 f/2.8 VR lens Nikon offers.

i have had the canon 10-22 and used it alot for parties and stuff, also good for inside a car stuff, but it suffered badly from chromatic aborations at the fringes at 10mm (not that most people cared that much) but i really never used it below 12mm

great lense, and worked well... it has been replaced in my bag with a 16-35mm F2.8 (i also have a 5D which it is kinda glued to) and it is better at 16mm than the 10 was on a crop body...

one thing, i bought it as i wanted to get closer to cars... but then realised AFTER i bought ti that i really wanted to be further away...

used it at Ebisu on a 7D pretty much on the KERB with guys passing me pretty dam close... lots of fun...

i have a 135 F2 and yeah it is AWESOME, use it with extension tubes for macro and it works a treat!!!
